The industry

What makes furniture and interior photography different

Furniture and interior stands are styled rooms. Manufacturers build living rooms, offices, lounges and material worlds meant to carry a mood. That mood is easily lost in show photos: hall light turns warm rooms cold, wide lenses distort proportions, visitors stand in the middle of the frame. We photograph rooms with calm perspective, natural proportions and the lighting your stand builder planned.

Fabrics, leather, wood and surfaces demand colour accuracy. A sage-green upholstery fabric must not look grey, an oak veneer must not turn orange. We correct colour carefully and photograph material details with our own light to show texture and feel.

Furniture is meant to be used. Alongside empty room shots we capture scenes where someone sits, works, touches a fabric or opens a drawer. Those images show ergonomics and quality better than any product copy. For Humanscale, a maker of ergonomic workplace products, we produced a testimonial video; similar formats work on a trade fair stand.

Shows

The furniture and interior fairs we work at

Cologne is the industry's key location: imm cologne in January shows home furniture and interiors, ORGATEC in autumn office and work environments, interzum in spring supplies for furniture production and interior fit-out, spoga+gafa garden and outdoor living. Frankfurt hosts Heimtextil for home and contract textiles and Ambiente for dining, living and giving, plus ARCHITECT@WORK. Nordstil in Hamburg serves the home and lifestyle retail trade, Heim+Handwerk in Munich consumers.

Cologne is in North Rhine-Westphalia, where travel is included, and close to our office in Essen. For Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich we quote travel once per trip, shared between exhibitors of the same show week.

At design fairs the press day or the first morning is often the best time for room shots, while stands are fresh and aisles are empty. Later in the day come the images with dealers, architects and buyers, many of them from Italy, Scandinavia, Turkey and the Gulf.

Show day

What we shoot, and when

Before doors open or on the press day: styled rooms without visitors, material details, lighting and accessories. We photograph each room from the viewpoint your stand concept intends.

Morning: team photo, designer portraits, furniture in use with your team. Midday to afternoon: conversations with dealers, specifiers and buyers, interviews, vertical walk-through clips.

If you present a collection at a set time at imm cologne or ORGATEC, we build the booking around it.

Formats

Material for retailers, specifiers and social media

Furniture makers sell through dealers, furniture stores, architects and contract specifiers. All of them need images after the show: room shots for catalogues and websites, product details for sample books, mood images for newsletters. We deliver in high resolution with unlimited usage rights, so you can pass them on without an extra licence.

Instagram and Pinterest run on interiors. Vertical 9:16 clips that walk through a styled room or show a material are often the most-viewed content of a show week. The 30-second highlight film works on LinkedIn, where contract clients and specifiers spend their time.

Interviews with designers or your management tell the story of a collection, in English, German, Arabic or Farsi. Everything is ready within 24 hours after the show ends.

FAQ

Questions about furniture and interior trade fair photography

Can you photograph our stand without visitors?

Yes. Room shots are taken before doors open or on the press day, when aisles are empty. We arrive early for that.

Will our fabrics look the right colour?

We correct mixed light carefully and shoot material details with our own light, so fabrics, leather and wood look like the real thing.

What references do you have in furniture?

We produced a testimonial video for Humanscale. At trade fairs we photograph stands of every size, from single exhibitors to shared pavilions.

Do you deliver content for Instagram and Pinterest?

Yes. Vertical 9:16 clips come with every package, three with Full Day, plus portrait-format photos.

We are based outside the EU. How do you invoice?

Companies outside the EU are invoiced without German VAT. EU companies with a VAT ID are invoiced under the reverse charge rule. Payment by invoice or online by credit card.

Can we pass the material on to distributors and the press?

Yes. Usage rights are unlimited, so photos and films can go to distributors, trade press and agencies without an extra licence.
